Dreyers? We have something that comes in an identical package, but it's called Edy's. And isn't that Slow Churned kind supposed to be low(er) fat than regular? Me, I'll stick with my Breyer's Mint Chip (all natural!) or butter pecan- my kids hate the nuts in butter pecan, so there is more left for me!

I am probably educationally deficient. But not living on another planet. Just confused/ curious.Is "Cookie Dough" American code for something that's 'naughty but nice', aka 'ice-cream'?(British roots showing up here.... actually, old boy)

Aw!! Dr. Grumpy!! I love your blog, and I generally agree whole-heartedly with you, but I'm gonna have to (mostly) side with Edy's here! I see nothing wrong with their statement (particularly given that it's on the package of their lower-fat, yet still abso-freaking-lutely delicious product . . . a product most people I see in the supermarket pass up in favor of its "regular" higher-fat counterpart). If they had said "consuming ice cream is good for you!!", I would balk, but I personally agree that low-fat ice cream in moderation can fit into a healthy diet . . . of course, I say I "mostly" side with Edy's because I would suggest that they bold "moderate" rather than "healthy" and put it in 40-pt font. :)
